so i was suppose to get my engine back from the machine shop this week, and just so happeneds the guy working on it is on a 2 week vacation! Nice to know my engine has just been sitting there going on 3 weeks now "UN-TOUCHED" when i shouldve gotten it back in a week to a week 1/2! Very upsetting.

Alright guys/girls... so, i really wanted JDM headlights but after this build i didnt really have much money to shell out :/. so until i have the extra money to spend this is what i did. When i bought my car the previous owner blacked them out and did a horrible job, I'm sure you'd be able to tell in the pictures, so what i did was i bought a pair of new headlights for a great deal (NON- HID), and did the JDM look to them, "Flat Black", with a Red projector. i think they came out pretty damn good honestly , Oh also got an early Bday present lol "EVO VIII clock"
